Procedures

Several of the more common advising functions are described below. For additional assistance, contact your college advising office.

Degree Audit (and similar functions)

Faculty members with Advisor access in myUCF can find at-a-glance information on student records, progress toward graduation, and other confidential information. Remember that student records (including grades) are considered FERPA-protected information, and should be kept private.

To access a student's information:

Log in to myUCF.

Under "Faculty/Advisor Self-Service" in the top-left menu, select "Advisors."

If you haven't been assigned students specifically, click on "View Any Student" and enter the student's ID number or last name to search for the student.

The Advisee Student Center will load, which will display some personal information right away. More academic records (such as degree audits or grades) can be found under the pulldown menu labeled "Other Academic."

If you do not have a link for Advisors under "Faculty/Advisor Self-Service," speak with your department chair to obtain access.

I believe about teaching that it is a way to change the world. A course can be a small action but with great impact in students' lives if the course creates the appropriate learning environment where the students learn not only the theory but also how to apply it in real world scenarios.

Students
enter my classroom with intuitions about "why people do what they do." No
matter the course modality or class enrollment, my goal is to challenge these
ideas and get students thinking "like scientists." To that end, I encourage
students to share and then reassess their theories in light of course ...
